Bilstein shocks

Hi guys,


2004 original owner. Back when she was new I added a Donahoe Racing 6" suspension and back then there wasn't much for shock choices. I went with dual edelbrocks up front (reservoir) and single rear. Needless to say the shocks are 13 years old and although notl eaking, I am sure their shelf life is about up.




Unfortunately back then I shelled out the money for the reservoir clamps (billet) and went with it.


As much as I want to return to a single 5100 up front, I kinda have grown accustomed to the look and don't want to just remove the billet reservoir clamps. With that said running dual non reservoir 5100's would give me a harsh ride.


Is anyone running dual 5160's up front which I heard are valved specifically for dual setups?


Maybe some other shock recommendations that wont break the bank?


Thanks
Joe

They do have shocks valveled for the dual shock set up. The part # is 33-104645. My brother has them on his 03 w/ a 6.5" lift and it rides good.
